The Crescent of Titan

The Crescent of Titan

Here is an image of the Saturn moon Titan. The moon – sun – Cassini geometry was such we see Titan in a crescent phase. Cassini’s camera took the image using the clear and blue band filters. This is a raw image meaning it is just as it was transmitted with no processing on the ground.

The image was taken on 05 April 2016 at 11:44 UTC and received on Earth a bit less than six hours later.
